The Latest Fat Free Apps For Your Mac.

I’m doing an inventory of applications on my Mac. Guess what I found? All the major applications from Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Macromedia. All the great applications and utilities like ComicLife, Transmit, Portraits & Prints.

And a bunch of free applications that make your Mac work better. Did I mention they’re free?

If a computing platform is to be judged, it can be judged based upon customer satisfaction, sales, and a strong developer base. Apple’s Mac line must be a success.

Mac applications are considered among the best ever developed. Even Microsoft’s Office for Mac is considered better than the Windows version. Adobe’s major apps run great on Mac OS X, as do all the major desktop applications from Macromedia.

Some are free. No, many are free. Better yet, most of the great ‘free’ applications seem to reside on my Mac right now.

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

First up, SuperDuper!! Hey, it’s not free, right? Except that the basic cloning portion of SuperDuper! is free. What else?

Sure, Safari, one of the best browsers ever comes free with Mac OS X. Firefox is also free. So is Camino. So is Mozilla. So is iCab, and others. Need an email application? Mozilla’s Firefox companion, Thunderbird, is also free.

Keep your Mac running like it was new even when it’s not. Use OnyX to make sure the maintenance tweaks are tweaked. Tweak for free.

Use your Mac for graphics, do you? Can you count all those pixels between points? Rule your world of pixels for free with Free Ruler.

You’ve got the idea now, right? Free may be a four letter word that begins with “F” but it’s a good one and worth repeating. I showed you mine. You show me yours. What’s your favorite FREE Mac applications?
